Is there a way to import all of this into a project without it getting stuck "indexing - processing files"? I'm trying to use JSON as an Encodable type so I can encode nested objects with variants in them.

Yes. I don't see any problem importing this into a project.

Xcode has many bugs and gets hung very often. I don't see any particular problem with this gist.

Maybe nice to add helpers like:
static func object(_ key: String, _ value: JSON) -> Self { Self.object([Key.init(key): value]) }
and
static func array(_ ints: Int...) -> Self { .array(ints.map { JSON.number(Double($0)) }) }
which allows maybe a little more readability for .object, e.g.: JSON.object("key", .array(1,2,3))
